      Is it? Were the dems about to stop supplying bombs to Israel? Boy, news to me, I would’ve been pretty energized to work to help the dems win if I had known! You can see my confusion, given that Biden gave them an extra 18 billion and kamala told anti-genocide protesters to shut up. Is there like…any reason to think that things would have been different for palestinians, or is it just like…a vibes thing? …like the cheering?

        And how did Trump winning the election improve the situation for the Palestinians?

        Maybe the survivors can become staff at Trump’s west bank resort.

          So that’s a no? you don’t have any reason to suspect Harris wouldn’t have just maintained business as usual, bankrolling and arming the genocide of palestinians? I have no doubt she’d do it more quietly, more politely, with less cheering and more…grim resolve. Maybe a single tear would roll down her face as she hands over the bombs that will be used to dismember Palestinian children.

          As far as I can tell it’d be the same bullets in the IDF’s guns, the same bombs on their planes. Trump is a monster, obviously, and hasn’t done anything better, but you’re saying he’s worse for palestinians and I haven’t seen any reason to think so. He’s worse for a whole mess of other reasons, and there’s no denying that, but I just don’t see why everyone in here is so sure the democrats would have done anything different with regard to palestine.
